About the Program

The mission of the chemistry program is to guide students in the development of their chemical knowledge and skills through a quality course of study emphasizing experiential learning with a professionally engaged faculty current in their field who help students successfully integrate into chemically related professions.

Our strong traditional chemistry curriculum is ideal for developing a student’s knowledge base as well as their critical thinking and communication skills. Students gain additional practical experience through research and assisting professors with laboratories. This major also expands the student’s horizons and further initiates them into chemically-related professions by involving them in off-campus field trips, short courses, professional meetings, and summer research and internship opportunities.
